Please, will you pray for my beloved childhood friend Glenn Diedrich, who is in the last few days of life here on earth. He has recently faced a recurrence of brain cancer, and it has struck him down quickly (within weeks). He just happens to be one of the most loving, kind people I have ever had the privilege to know and experience as a human being.

Thank you for hearing my plea for your prayers. Glenn is so worthy of all of our love, and most importantly, hearing his Blessed Savior call him by name to take him to his true home.

Debi has completed her journey thru this life on earth and is now with the Lord. She passed away over the weekend. We knew it was close for about three weeks. We all have made many trips back and forth from Visalia to Orange UCI medical center. We have been here all week and each day she was declining and finally we were told 2 to 3 days - no more than a week (that was Thursday). The cancer was spreading fast and there was nothing they could do to reverse that - all they could do was make her comfortable. She passed peacefully and was not in pain! Debi was a believer and we praise God that she is with the Lord today. The head Chaplin (who happens to be on staff at Saddleback Church) was with us all two times yesterday and at that time Debi was still able to respond, hear & understand - we had a good time with her during that time.

All the California family is here and the three girls (Deb's sisters) stayed all night at the hospital for the last two nights. They are crashed in the next room to us right now. We all are very exhausted - but we are all sad and happy at the same time - sad that Debi had to leave us, but happy that she is cancer free now and with Jesus.

We thank all of you and your churches for all your prayers, notes, emails, etc. during this long journey thru Debi's illness! Some of the folks who have journeyed with us I do not have their email - please pass this on to them (especially those at Visalia Mobile Estates; Peace, Taft; Trinity, Exeter; Calavary, San Lorenzo; Emmanuel, Clovis; Grace, Modesto; Christ, Yuma; First, Temple City; Circuit Pastors, etc.). Some may have email but I do not have them all with me here. We don't know at this moment when we will be coming home. Thank you all again!
